    The Big East is shuting it down (For Fall Sports)

    For fall sports that is. Will the students all ready on campus be sent home? How could they not?

    Why would they get sent home? Aren’t they getting ready to start classes?

    BE has cancelled fall sports, not school. The conference has no ability to dictate the actions regarding classroom academics of its member schools.

    So sad to see this happening, but it’s for the best, I guess.

    The climate is so political you can make a case either way. Still, I'll take the other side and, if you wish, at 9-1 odds. Although I won't bet the ranch because so much can yet change.

    But, Drudy23 has it, I think, Why? Follow the money. Costs nothing to cancel fall sports; costs a bundle to cancel hoops.

    From the President’s and the Board’s point if view, they have to weigh the cost of potential law suits against the amount of money to be made by playing basketball, while keeping in mind the lost revenue from no NCAA tourney last year, and possibly even next March. It might cost them a whole lot MORE money to play. The question is.....do they chance it?

    Also...it might no make any difference what the BE decides to do....if the Ohio Governor says no college sports are allowed, then X won’t be playing. No matter what every other school is doing.

    No question that even the threat of a lawsuit would make any President and his Board fear opening up. Which makes today's vote by the B12 commissioners to go ahead with fall sports a pretty ballsy move.

    I still will take the bet the season goes on although your comment makes me wonder if fans will be permitted to attend. I don't know what consequences that decision might have on television coverage but assuming T.V. goes ahead, to me, that makes playing a whole lot more likely.

    And, if they don't play, I might just slit my wrists! Wonder if that carries any weight with the administration.
